I still think 10,000 liberals is not punishment enough for Canada inflicting Bryan Adams upon us, wouldn't you all agree?

The article does mention that there are still more Canadians are emigrating to the US than vice versa.

Does this mean Canada is going to put up a fence to keep the riff raff from the U.S. out? hehe.

"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it." MM says...

Of course you are going to feel safer in Canada.  what threat does Cananda pose to anyone?

When the jihadists have conquered the US, then Canada will fall....

Somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 move to Canada ove the course of six years, and they can only cite two examples to support the assertion that the move is "largely fueled" by politics???

Sounds like the same way they report a scientific consensus.

No agenda in that reporting. </sarc>

We wish these were all libs leaving the country, but the recent shift back to the right in Canadian politics suggests otherwise.

These guys can't wait 17 or 18 freakin' months until Obama or Hillary take office?

But...but...but... won't all these liberals moving up there cause a lot of the Canadiens to not like us???

Oh. Never mind :-o

The Closed Mind Erects Strong Barriers

"[Say, I wonder if the US could attract more immigrants if we provided "free" healthcare?]"

That is a very good question. I wonder what it is the Mexican immigrants like better about the rotten U.S. anyway? Could it be that Canada hates poor people? They must not like them as much as we do because only the rich and educated emigrate to Canada.

It only matters if they decide to not use absentee ballots. They need to become Canada citizens, and tear up their American citizenship.

Can they still use the social services if they are Americans? Does Canada allow duel citizenships?

Ahhhh, the poor little mistreated liberals. Run away! Run away, faster! The big bad republicans are comming!

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

"In 2006, 10,942 Americans went to Canada, compared with 9,262 in 2005 and 5,828 in 2000, according to a survey by the Association for Canadian Studies."

America has over 300 million people.Is ABC so desperate to bash the goverment that they put up this pathetic story.Who the hell am I kidding.Yes they are.This has got to make you wonder where they studied journalism.Must of been a Michael Moore correspondence course.

Is there an organization that's accepting donations for luggage, UHauls, etc.? Let's delay the Northern border fence until they've all crossed.

"I went out to milk
the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in
the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage
borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry.
"He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken.
When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to
show him my screenplay, eh?"

You've all heard the rest of the joke many times. It's all over the Internet if you haven't read it. If ABC had taken the time (the official government compiled numbers are readily available on the Internet) the immigration/emigration ratio between Canada and the United States in 2005 (the most recent year available) was at the highest level (of people moving from Canada to the United States than in the other direction) since the Great Depression. The article is pure feel good page filler material for people both left and right. There's something good in it for everyone.

Still, the net immigration to the United States continues to be the highest per capita in the world. And that's just the legal immigrants. In EVERY country ever polled, when people are asked where they would most like to move to, the United States is always the number one answer by a wide margin. The fence we can't seem to figure out how to build on our southern border is not meant to keep Americans in!

Of the "highly educated" Canadians moving south, guess what occupation has been number one for years? Correct! Doctors. If you do plan to move north, be sure to get yourself on the list to get on the list to obtain a health card to become eligible to get on the list to receive health care before you actually move (allow the rest of your life plus three years). 40% lower standard of living, twice the rate of unemployment and a HIGHER countrywide crime rate (look it up!). We just think of our inner cities when thinking of crime. Add in all of America compared to all of Canada and we have a LOWER crime rate. BTW -- that's only been since the passage ofCanada's draconian anti-gun laws and our right-to-carry laws now in effect in most states. Canada DID have a much lower crime rate until they disarmed law-abiding citizens ("thank you, Canada!" -- signed: every armed criminal). But, now, just as in the U.K. which has had the same "unexpected" results, most home burglaries are now armed robberies and occur when the homeowner is home (to point out their valuables - duh!). How about burglaries in the United States (at least in areas where private gun ownership is legal and common)? Seven percent! Just seven percent occur while the homeowner is home (86% in the U.K. and still climbing). What!!?? Encounter some homeowner armed with a 12-gauge? Most criminals are dumb but they aren't THAT dumb!

I suspect if the individuals moving both directions were compared, it would be clear we are very much getting the better end of the deal.

Move north then have to rush to Detroit for a life-saving operation denied you in Canada and, when you wake up still alive after surgery, your surgeon greets you with "eh?" As they say, "reality is FUNNIER than fiction".

My brother likes to spout that the US is the least generous (least socialistic) industrialized nation. Maybe he should go to Canada too. Or better yet, France.

  Ignorance is bliss. It's easier to repeat a mindless slogan than to do some actual research.

ABC is on to something here. If they make it seem 'Hollywood Kitch'..a whole gob of these retards will sign on and ship out. Everybody wins!!!!

Now, this might sting just a little bit.....

And with any luck, they will use the three guns that may actually still exist in that country and force the ex-patriate American traitor's deportation to North Korea, where all liberals deserve to live.

Good riddance, you treasonous scum, and I hope the door nails you (literally) in the ass on your way out.

-And would the last lib out please be sure and take the Hildebeast with you.

Jo Davenport, who wrote "The Canadian Way," moved from Atlanta to Nova
Scotia in December 2001. She also cites political reasons for her move,
saying that she disagreed with the Bush administration's decisions
after 9/11. "Things are totally different here because they care about their people here," she says, explaining that she's only been back home once or twice.

Jo, if you are reading this, and I sincerely hope you are, as a life long (43 yr) resident of Atlanta, there are no words within the English language that are adequate to convey upon you just how sincerely glad I am you removed yourself from my city.

I'm not sure, but I'll bet you were that idiot I got stuck behind that hot August afternoon on I-285 way back in 2000, just a few miles east of I-75 and my escape home, whose smoking old beat-to-hell Volvo 240 threw up a rock and put a hole in the a/c condenser of my Maxima, promptly rendering same inoperative.

I literally had to peal myself from the drivers seat some 1 3/4 hours later.

BTW-The repair bill was $567.58. Normally, I'd accept a check, but in your case, make it a money order.

Oh, and one more thing. If you think the Canadian government cares about its people, just wait for Canada to enter a real recession. You'll no doubt find, as most have over the years, that when socialist libs run out of money, they also run out of compassion.

Help Fred defeat everybody.

There go some more scientists.
